Bautista Agut was broken three times during the course of the match, but he broke back immediately each time and wound up five of eight in break opportunities.

Johnson notched his first victory of the summer hard-court season, after going out in the first round at Montreal and Cincinnati in the past two weeks. He had lost his first match in Washington prior to that.

He won seven straight games at one point in the match and his only regret was not being able to serve out the match at 5-1 in the second set. He had 11 aces and saved six of seven break points.

Benneteau pulled the stunner in the final match of the night, dominating the third set to oust Carreno Busta, the defending champion in a two-hour, 40-minute marathon. Benneteau had 20 break opportunities for the night, and converted five.
